I claim the fastest ground speed for a Europa, just over the Ton, coming
off
the Thelwall Viaduct, northbound on the M6 Motorway , sat on the Europa
trigear trailer !
Does that count ?
Cheers,
Nev.
Only if you weren't strapped on!!

Sorry Nev but I don't believe you. You would not have enough room to get up
to the Ton in that country lest you would run off the edge !!
Hang on ! are you talking a Ton of Kilometres or a Ton of Miles ? If you
are talking K's, then you might just about be able to do it but you must
have had good brakes !
Your humble and obedient antipodean Cousin - obviously about to be sent to

Hi,
Slightly bizarre question but has anyone just sold some property to someone in
Orpington, UK?
The new owner appears to have inherited some Europa parts and is selling them.
I'd like to try and trace how old they are and whether they are Classic or XS.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Kingsly,
If you had ever been in my Workshop, you would know Metric is totally
forbidden !
I only use proper Imperial measurements, I can assure you it was miles per
hour.
The metric system was invented by ''cheese eating surrender monkeys'' They
are welcome to keep it to themselves.I am quite happy with ounces, pounds,
pints, gallons, inch, feet, yards and miles thank you very much.
God save the Queen.
Cheers,
Nev.

Hey Nev,
Of course you installed some engine made in the colonies, Jab or Lyc,
with imperial nuts and bolts ?
I suggest you rename your plane "Britannia" ;-))

Just one of the 6 billion other metric monkeys...

Well said Nev..... why the hell should we be conned into accepting a French
Revolutionary method of mensuration ( have to be careful how I spell that!).
I do the same. Interesting that I have NEVER heard anyone boast abut how
many Km to the Ltr they get out of their car or aeroplane even amongst the Euro
enthusiasts.

Errr... Nev... you do realise that 'miles' is strictly an Italian word,
don't you? :-) [Ducks and awaits incoming fire :-) ]
PS Why was the pre-Euro Irish currency called the 'Punt'? Because it rhymed
with 'bank manager' :-)

Nev,
Hope you understood my accidental cynical remark. When I said you would
run off the edge, I meant the edge of the country not the edge of the
road ! <grin>
Shame on you Nev for not accepting the metric system however, I have to
admit you do have a point. I remember reading once why the French
always used the guillotine instead of the gallows, the reason being
there was no exact metric equivalent for the drop on the gallows so they
could never get it to work properly! Not sure if you knew this little
bit of trivia mate ?
You also remind me of a bloke we used to have here at work. He was
responsible for spraying noxious weeds. When he recorded the amount of
poison used, because he hated metric, he would write something like 2/3
of 3/4 of 1/2 a Cup. That was much simpler than saying 200ml or
whatever !!
Anyway, we can settle all this stuff next year 'cause I'm comin ova ta
say gidday. Hope you'll be around !
Best
Kingsley
PS I note you called me Kingsly - were you inferring something when you
dropped out the 'e' in the last four letters ??
Cheers
